A selection of readers' responses to Debito Arudou's Feb. 7 Just Be Cause column, "These are a few of my favorite things about Japan":
As the father of a disabled child and fellow rights activist, I found it disappointing and more than a little hypocritical that one of Debito's favorite things about Japan is the ability to use facilities specifically designed for one of the most discriminated-against minority groups as his own personal "throne" with impunity. I can only imagine he is also thrilled that there is no enforcement of handicap parking violations.
Perhaps if there were fewer self-entitled "foreigners" taking what they want when they want it, Mr. Arudou would not have or need as many straw men to rail against.
